Mo Bamba Measures Insane 7-Foot-10 Wingspan at NBA Combine

Michael Porter Jr. strolled into the media interview room Thursday at the National Basketball Association draft combine wearing an all-white hoodie with just four words written across the front in small black letters: "No freedom to speak". "I know they've obviously gotten better".

"I know without a doubt that I'm the - I played against all these guys, they're all great players - but I'm the best player in this draft", Porter said. "And I just can't wait to show what I'm capable of". Before Bamba, only four players had ever cracked 7-foot-8 - current Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert in 2013, former Mississippi State center John Riek in 2008, and 2006 No. 10 overall pick Mouhamed Saer Sene.
